Teixeria is a pretty handy goal scorer.
Just have a look at this as a superlative if needed. Andriy Yarmelenko is subject of a 23million pound bid from Arsenal and he is having a career best year so far, with 8 goals. That places him third on the list.
People have been bagging the fee saying it is only the Ukrainian League, but that league has produced some very good players.
Willian cost 28 million and his best goal return was 11 in the UkL.
Douglas Costa cost 23 million, but his contract was winding down. You can bet if he had 2.5 years left on his deal he would have cost closer to 35.
Yehven Konplyanka has done pretty well in Spain. Luis Adriano isn't a slouch in Italy either.
Then you have a look at Teixeria and he has 22 goals in 15 games, the next best is 10 in 16.
You add in his 8 UCL games he has played so far and he is sitting on 26 goals in 23 games.
That is an amazing return.
A quality player is actually stating they want to come to Liverpool. That will only happen for so long now. We can't continue to not sign players and finish 7th otherwise these types of players won't come to us.
If he is the player Klopp identified to ease his goal scoring drought, then pay it.
